Do you have or produce a strain of Cannabis with an interesting Cannabinoid profile? At Supra Research and Development we are offering a free Cannabinoid profile analysis to highlight the diversity of Cannabinoids and to push the discussion that Cannabis quality is about more that THC. Contact inquire@SupraRnD.ca for more details.

THC content should not be the primary metric to indicate Cannabis flower quality and the Cannabis community should do more to educate people about this. Rather than just talk about this, I am going to take some action. During the month of May, my ISO 17025 accredited lab, Supra Research and Development, will be offering a FREE full Cannabinoid profile (17 analytes) for anyone who sends a sample to our lab using the attached sample submission form with the Promotional code “ ”. This offer is for one sample per organization but we will run additional samples at half price $80/sample.

We will encode each sample to protect the identity of the submitter and publish the full list of samples submitted to highlight the diversity of Cannabinoids present in different varieties of cannabis. With permission, we will also identify and highlight a number of the cultivators who produce some of the more interesting strains. email inquire@suprarnd.ca for more information.
